Energy Solutions Forum Presents Taylor Wilson

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with one of the foremost advocates for nuclear science!

Taylor is a physicist who, at 14, became the youngest person in history to produce nuclear fusion. He has gone on to develop many award-winning technologies in fields including energy production and storage, robotics, materials science, and biology. Taylor directs several interdisciplinary laboratories for fundamental and applied research in nuclear science and is the founder of Prometheus Industries and Talos Materials. He is also involved in efforts related to defense, space exploration, and science-driven public policy both in the United States and around the globe, and works to infuse a curiosity for science, technology and the natural world into popular culture, through outlets such as TED and NOVA, as well as . Taylor is the subject of the biography The Boy Who Played with Fusion (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015), written by author Tom Clynes, and an untitled biopic in development at 20th Century Fox, to be directed by Jeff Nichols.
